SH41B-2777: The acceleration of particles at propagating interplanetary shocks
Enhancements of charged energetic particles are often observed at Earth following the eruption of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on the Sun. These enhancements are thought to arise from the acceleration of those particles at interplanetary shocks forming ahead of CMEs, propagating into the heliosphere.

The acceleration of energetic particles in the interplanetary medium by transit time damping [PDF]
It has been reported recently by McDonald et al. (1976) that 1-MeV protons may undergo considerable acceleration in corotating streams. It has been suggested recently by Fisk et al. (1974b) that interstellar neutral particles which are ionized in the solar cavity may be accelerated in the solar wind and may account for the anomalous component that is ...

Abstract Using Van Allen Probes data (2013–2015), we report that highly oblique chorus waves frequently occur in low‐density regions where fpe/fce≈3 ${f}_{\text{pe}}/{f}_{\text{ce}}\approx 3$. These waves exhibit an electric‐to‐magnetic energy ratio PE/c2PB>0.5 $\sqrt{{P}_{\mathrm{E}}/{c}^{2}{P}_{\mathrm{B}}} > 0.5$, much higher than the typical <0.1 ${

Quantifying the Effects of Parameters in Widespread Solar Energetic Particle Events with EPREM
The Energetic Particle Radiation Environment Model (EPREM) solves the focused transport equation on a Lagrangian grid in a frame comoving with the solar wind plasma and simulates the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles (SEPs) in the ...

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs
Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...

On the relationship between auroral absorption, electrojets currents and plasma convection [PDF]
In this study, the relationship between auroral absorption, electrojet currents, and ionospheric plasma convection velocity is investigated using a series of new methods where temporal correlations are calculated and analysed for different events and ...

Modeling Solar Energetic Neutral Atoms from Solar Flares and CME-driven Shocks
We examine the production of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven shocks and their subsequent propagation to 1 au. Time profiles and fluence spectra of solar ENAs at 1 au are computed for two scenarios: (1)

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks for Modeling the Martian Induced Magnetosphere
Abstract Understanding the magnetic field environment around Mars and its response to upstream solar wind conditions provide key insights into the processes driving atmospheric ion escape. To date, global models of Martian induced magnetosphere have been exclusively physics‐based, relying on computationally intensive simulations. For the first time, we

Relativistic Landau resonances
The possible interactions between plasma waves and relativistic charged particles are considered. An electromagnetic perturbation in the plasma is formulated as an elliptically polarized wave, and the collisionless plasma is described by a distribution ...

Plasma Stability in Turbulent Magnetic Flux Ropes Downstream of a Collisionless Shock
Abstract How pre‐existing solar wind turbulence, and coherent structures such as magnetic flux ropes within it, influence the transition of plasma across a shock is still poorly understood. Recently, in situ observations from the Earth's magnetosheath have been used to study plasma stability against ion kinetic instabilities. In the turbulent flow, the
